Renaissance sculpture resembled classical Greek and Roman art, emphasizing realism, human emotion, and the beauty of the human form. Artists focused on anatomical accuracy, proportion, and perspective, often depicting mythological, religious, or historical figures in dynamic poses. The use of materials like marble and bronze allowed for intricate details and lifelike textures, reflecting a revival of interest in ancient aesthetics and techniques. Overall, Renaissance sculpture marked a significant shift towards naturalism and individual expression.
The European country that led the way in Renaissance painting and sculpture was, and still is, Italy.

Renaissance sculpture emphasized realism and human emotion, reflecting a deep study of anatomy and perspective, while medieval sculpture often focused on religious themes and was more stylized and less naturalistic. Additionally, Renaissance artists sought to depict the human figure in a more dynamic and three-dimensional way, often using techniques like contrapposto, whereas medieval sculptures tended to be more rigid and hierarchical in composition. These differences marked a significant shift towards individualism and classical ideals in the Renaissance period.
The Renaissance produced great works of painting and sculpture. It also saw a flourishing of poetry and drama in vernacular languages.
